Cheap Car Hire in Denmark

What are the requirements to hire a car in Denmark?

Car hires in Denmark will let you freely explore the south of Scandinavia and beyond on your own schedule, but make sure you have all your documents and meet all requirements when booking. To hire a car in Denmark, the minimum age is usually at least 20 years old, but it may be higher depending on the car hire agency as well as the vehicle group. For example, the minimum age for economy car hire with Europcar is 23, while for convertible cars it is 28. Additionally, most companies will charge an additional fee, a "Young Driver Surcharge" for drivers younger than 26. All drivers must have a valid driving licence, which they must have held for at least one year, or even more depending on the vehicle group. Driving licences printed with non Roman alphabets, such as Cyrillic, etc., must be accompanied by an International Driving Permit, unless it is from a country within the European Union. A credit card will be needed during collection of your Denmark car hire. Debit cards are also commonly accepted but be sure to check with your provider.
